on the “skirt” of their home’s driveway. In another, he scared the bejeezers out of an Uber driver who he’d spotted going to pick up a ride in a house in his ward.

The Integrity Commissioner found that Karygiannis had run afoul of the councillors’ code of conduct, which incredibly requires that councillors not intimidate people in the course of going about their business.

On June 7, Karygiannis mumbled an apology on the floor of council. But he wasn’t sorry, not really. In an interview, Karygiannis maintained that he should be able to tell constituents to obey the law if he wants to, particularly if the city is slow to enforce.

And if he’s intimidating in the course of doing that?

“Maybe the method, she (the Integrity Commissioner) doesn’t agree with it. Maybe my method is a little rough,” he said. “I’m a big guy. What can I tell you? I’m six feet and 260 pounds. When you see me walking up to you, you feel intimidated.”

Maybe there always has to be a Jim Karygiannis at City Hall: someone who ignores decorum and puts on a show, a John Belushi character turning civilized discourse into a proper Animal House. When he was a councillor, Rob Ford fulfilled that role, spewing rhetoric across the city while digging down on the little things in neighbourhoods and dissing his colleagues for their city-funded office budgets.

Doug Ford played that role a bit when Rob became mayor and Giorgio Mammoliti still dips toe in that pool from time to time, but clearly he’s getting tired.

So maybe it’s good, that Karygiannis is here to keep an old Toronto tradition alive.

to the tune of $16 million per year for 10 years, any increase in bike lanes would only exacerbate the problem of cyclists being put in danger by drivers blocking their right-of-way.

Perhaps having additional blitzes and an increased awareness campaign, combined with even higher fines for offenders is a potential solution to curbing bad driver behaviour.

The alternative of not having some kind of sustained campaign to ensure the safety of cyclists will have an adverse impact on what the city seemingly wants to achieve through holding Bike Month each year.

That is to encourage people to get out of their cars and ride their bikes more.

Bike to Work days?

Good luck finding more people to participate if it means navigating Toronto streets with the added challenge of swerving around parked cars.

Ah, Scarborough-Agincourt Councillor Jim Karygiannis. We have not seen his like since… well really, since the last time the voters of Ward 39-Scarborough Agincourt sent a councillor to City Hall.

Jim Karygiannis is the firstterm successor to Toronto’s former budget chief, Mike Del Grande — who kept Ward 39 strange for a decade before that, often with the help of Karygiannis himself, who had been a Liberal MP for even longer in the area.

In 2004, the two of them made headlines, personally helping to bust up marijuana grow-ops in their communities, while Del Grande also kept an inventory of constituents whose homes violated city bylaws.

Del Grande had a brief tenure as former Mayor Rob Ford’s first budget chief, but consistently bemoaned the failings of his colleagues on council and delinquent constituents alike, maintaining a consistent and in retrospect magnificent rage.

When Del Grande decided he’d had enough in 2014, Karygiannis happily assumed his angry role — at if anything a greater volume.

He took on the Uber ridesharing industry in the rhetorical equivalent of a berserk rampage, behaving so badly during Licensing and Standards Committee hearings that Mayor John Tory called him on the carpet.

And this week, two reports from the city’s Integrity Commissioner calling him out for behaviour not too dissimilar to those pot-busting days with Mike Del Grande.

In one instance in 2015, Karygiannis scared the bejeezers out of a family guilty of parking

Q&A

Liberty Village artist Nadia Lloyd is paying tribute to her love for The 6. She’s launching her new Toronto by Nadia Lloyd Collection Saturday, June 11 at the Liberty Village Art Crawl.

Emblazoned across her latest offerings of cushions, hats, shower curtains, T-shirts and skirts is a silhouette of the Toronto skyline in black and white.

“I can’t take credit for how sexy the Toronto skyline is, and it seems like I’m not the only one obsessed with it,” Lloyd told The Villager.

We caught up with the Montreal-born artist to ask her a few questions about the new collection.

Hilary caton hcaton@insidetoronto.com

Q: Why a black-andwhite scheme and not full colour like your previous collections?

A: Black and white has always been at the base of everything I’ve done.

I always grab my black paint, my white paint, and then I choose my accent colours. I’m an abstract artist first and my abstract art is very colourful and bold.

But I’ve always loved black and white and its elegance and chicness, so I’ve always been drawn to black and white and the contrast between the two. I think it best repre-

sents the skyline because I don’t think it needs anything to make it prettier.

It’s a bold visual of what the sexy Toronto skyline looks like. I feel like colour would take away from the simplicity of its beauty.

Q: Was the transition from artist to designer a simple one?

A: I started painting in 2010 and by 2011 I already had my first set of cushions designed.

The idea was born because a) I’m an entrepreneur and I’m always daydreaming about what I can do with what I have and b) I would hear all the time, ‘I love your art, I just

GardeninG?

We’ve Got just the thinG.

can’t afford it,’ or ‘I don’t have walls left, but I’d love to own some of your art.’

So this allowed me to bridge that gap between people wanting my art and me wanting my art out in the world, and this was just one way to make it functional, accessible and affordable.

Q: Why did you start off with cushions?

A: I couldn’t understand why every store I went in to there were only red, blue, brown, black and white pillows.

scotts naturescaPes colour enhanced mulch

$4.49

I thought it was so boring and I felt that my art would lend itself really well to accessorizing.

Whether it’s your wall, furniture or your body, and I thought why aren’t there abstract art pillows that will allow someone who is not really interior design savvy, just pick one piece they like and design around it.

Q: Why did you choose the Toronto skyline for this collection?

A: The CN Tower is my muse. The Toronto skyline

has been an inspiration to me as an artist for six years.

This collection is very much in contrast to what I’ve been up to. ...I always look for it (The CN Tower) wherever I am.

It always gives me a sense of peace, it’s my point of reference for a lot of things and it’s my way of honouring it really.

PROPERTY Newlyweds Tripti Ninan and Ryan Perera are Millennials and purchased their first home in Toronto just under a year ago.

Based on their combined income and the down payment they were able to come up with, the couple bought a 700-square-feet, one-bedroom plus den condo unit in Etobicoke near a subway station.

“We knew our first step would be a condo. We wanted to start small and we wanted something low maintenance,” said Ninan. “And for us, location was key because we wanted to be close to transit. I did not want ridiculous commutes anymore!”

Ninan, a 30-year-old marketing professional who works downtown, and 27-year-old Perera, an aerospace engineer whose office is near Pearson Airport, understood sacrifices were required to make their dream a reality.

About five years ago, they both started setting aside money for their wedding and future home purchase.

“We were actually planning for quite a few years and saving up,” said Perera. “We saved for both our wedding and our property even before we knew what kind of place

we wanted and how big the wedding would be.”

Ninan, who also paid her own way through college and university, said she was lucky to have taken a few financial courses and had a good understanding of what was involved in getting into the Toronto real estate market.

It also helped that both Ninan and Perera’s parents have purchased a condo in the last five years and they were actively involved in helping their parents navigate the experience.

“We took what we learned from our parents and applied it when the time came to buy a condo,” she said.

The couple sacrificed having a second vehicle to save more money and followed the guidance of their financial advisor, Darlene Wang, who advised them about maximizing their investments and the importance of budgeting.

“We don’t go on crazy shopping sprees at all and we’re smart with our purchases, no impulse buying,” Perera said. “But we’re still enjoying life. Short-term

IF YOU suffer from low back pain and sciatica, you are one of over 20 million adults in Canada with this often crippling spinal condition.

Shooting, stabbing and burning pains from the low back, sometimes with additional pain through the buttocks and down the legs are all symptoms of pinched nerves often called “sciatica”.

In severe cases, it can lead to muscle wasting, numbness and constant tingling down to the tip of the toes. Left untreated, the intense pain can rapidly wear you down and drain the joy out of life.

That is, until now...

Recent advances in the treatment of sciatica and lower back pain have led to the development and huge success of Advanced Bio-Structural Correction Technique.

The excellent results of this chiropractic treatment have been published in major medical journals with great success rates. Some back surgeons and medical doctors are recommending their patients try this treatment first before having back surgery.

In Roncesvalles Village, you can try Non-Surgical Bio-Structural Spinal Correction care at Village Park Chiropractic Health Centre, where Dr. Andrew Cooper D.C. is the low back pain and sciatica relief specialist.

Because the treatment is nonsurgical, safe and easy, most patients report an almost immediate relief from their pain.

Patient Alan .W. from Roncesvalles Village says, “My back pain was unbearable but the worst thing was the searing burning pain I felt in my buttock and leg. I could barely walk without sharp pains.

My wife insisted I respond to one of these ads, I thought it would be a total waste of time, but I’m so glad she pushed me to call.

Since beginning care, I’m already 95% better in just a few weeks, I only wish I had heard about chiropractic sooner.”
